UK still gets 5 stars and my honest review stands. However they gone through some changes. They have removed some items and increased the prices on others by $1. Apps are now $5 instead of $4 for egg rolls and spring rolls. However they have a full vegetarian menu now.

I have to do an update.
UK has become my favorite restaurant. I go here 2-3 times per week. Be sit down or take out its always a pleasure to eat this food.
I have tried so many Pho places and sadly I always compare them to UK and their Pho is just not as good as UKs.
All the dishes I've tried are amazing and never dissapoint. From their soups, rice, vermicelli, appetizers and even boba drinks. Its all good.
The owner Khai and Ungh make this place even more special. Since we frequent this place so much Khai always goes the extra distance to add additional things to our food, make any changes we need to accommodate our diet and he's always happy. Truly a place that i feel like im at home.
Seriously try it you wont be dissapointed.

Its true what other reviews say, the owner is a super nice older man. Right from the start as i entered restaurant for a to go order he couldn't be more attentive. I told him how i had gotten one of their menus in my driveway and he was so excited to tell me he was the one distributing them. Lol
Note - he urged me to try the orange chicken; "trust me its do good." However i was set on Pho and egg rolls(staples of a Vietnamese restaurant). He said he worked at Bamboo Club and made it there. So im sure its delish and my #1 option for next time.
Food:
egg rolls - fresh, crispy and full of flavor. Props for actually giving one lettuce leaf for each piece. Dipping sauce was actually well balanced and not too overly fishy like other places.
Pho - #7, regular size everything beef pho. So comforting and delicious. I like that the broth is not too sweet. Many other pho places tend to make their Pho too sweet. All the meat was tasty and an added bonus is that they put meatballs, other places its extra.
I will most definitely be back. I like that its a mom and pop shop, inviting and such sweet owner.
Ps - the have bobba :-)
